On Thursday, June 29, attorneys from Advancing Justice-Asian Law Caucus (Advancing Justice-ALC), the Council on American-Islamic Relations-San Francisco Bay Area office (CAIR-SFBA), One Justice, and other civil rights organizations will be monitoring the implementation of the ‘Muslim Ban’ Executive Order at San Francisco International Airport (SFO), as well as the Oakland and San Jose airports.

“We must stand united against discrimination. As this administration has stated time and time again, this is a ‘Muslim Ban,’” said CAIR-SFBA Civil Rights Attorney Brittney Rezaei. “Once again Muslim immigrants and refugees fleeing violence are being told that they will be treated differently because of their religion. We must not allow these policies to be normalized.”

“The ‘Muslim Ban’ – including its revised form – is discriminatory in its intent, devastating in its effect, and corrosive to the soul of our country,” said Advancing Justice-ALC Staff Attorney Christina Sinha.
